and the greatest debt in history and more debt through washington than clinton combined. that's great. i don't think it's great. look at the economic record we have, we're back to jimmy carter days, look at our foreign policy. >> sean: by the end of this term. >> there's no greatness going on here. >> sean: by the end of this term he will have double the debt. one president, inherited 10 trillion dollars, it's 16 1/2, by the time he leaves he will have more than doubled the debt. more than every other president combined. all right, speaking of which, you know, the lack of transparency on benghazi, why were, for example, troops denied the security they asked and the ambassador denied that request. why weren't troops sent to help during the attack and why was there a cover upafter. the debt, the issues, the lab dog media, they don't cover it. if you listen to chuck todd, the political director. he's actually claiming it's a myth, there's anti-conservative bias and say it with a great face. >> the mythology of the big, bad, nonconservative media has gotten into some offices
